This removes dead code and suppresses a warning from clang.
However, see below:

--------------------------------------------
This function does not allow the caller to distinguish
via its return value whether it has failed.
It always returns 0.
I see that this function's return value is used in numerous places
(each esxVI_.*Deserialize function), so this should be fixed.
Oops, however that happened... good find. The clang analyzer seems to
be a valuable tool.
The fix for this is to swap "goto cleanup;" and "result = -1;" (see
attached patch).
